Introduction

Since time immemorial there has been a continuous attempt by humanity to comprehend the mysteries of life. There have been many sources of knowledge to draw from. The Vedas are records of the ancient and respected Indian tradition of wisdom.

The Vedas are the oldest records of wisdom pertaining to human existence and evolution. Nearly one billion people throughout the world consider these writings to be sacred. At the same time the Vedas are the least understood and accessible of all ancient holy texts. In spite of the fact that there has been extensive commentaries by scientists, philosophers and other scholars, the Vedas remain mystical and confusing for many people. To study the Vedas in a most practical way we will make use of what has written in the epoch Ramayana.

The aim of this study is to obtain insight into their deeper significance found in the epoch Ramayana and into the invaluable merits derived from its practical applications into daily life. Furthermore, this wisdom is an excellent tool to share it with others as a coach/consultant in the practical field of a spiritual life.

Study Goals
